The trio plan to build on a series of already successful collaborations between CF Industries and Trafigura, and push forward bunkering logistics planning for marine ammonia fuel on the US Gulf Coast and northwest Europe.
In our latest technology landscape analysis, AEA Technology Manager Kevin Rouwenhorst explores four broad categories for novel ammonia production technologies: improved catalysts, sorbent enhancement, electrochemical ammonia synthesis, and other technology pathways (including geological, single-step and looping synthesis).
Time-charter contracts covering a total of four vessels have been signed with NYK Bulkship and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines to transport ammonia from Louisiana to JERA’s Hekinan Thermal Power Station in Hekinan City, Japan.
In our December episode of Project Features, we explore ammonia energy R&D, pioneering demonstration plants, and start-up companies originating from the University of Minnesota, USA.
US-based Addis Energy announced they have closed an $8.3 million oversubscribed seed round to progress work on subsurface production of ammonia, via the strategic injection of feedstock materials.
The pair are in advanced negotiations to cement a partnership that will de-risk and progress two key production projects: the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex in the USA, and NEOM in Saudi Arabia.
Topsoe has been picked to provide renewable ammonia synthesis technology for two planned projects by Synergen Green Energy in the USA (Texas and Nebraska), each with a production capacity of 210,000 tons per year.
Meet the University of Minnesota, a global leader in ammonia energy R&D. We will learn more about UMinn’s world-leading renewable ammonia demonstration plant in Morris, Minnesota, as well as exploring the ecosystem of initiatives and spin-out companies launched by UMinn, including RTI International, Power-to-X Analytics, and Aza Power.
